Goalkeeper, Alisson heads home late winner to hand Liverpool vital points

Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker headed home at stoppage as Jurgen Klopp’s men saw off relegation-bound West Brom 2-1 at the Hawthorns in Sunday’s Premier League fixture.

Alisson left his goal area to join his teammates as they prepare for a corner to be taken by Trent Alexander-Arnold.

The Brazilian jumped higher than any other player in the box and headed into the back of the net to give the Reds the three vital points.

Alisson is now the first goalkeeper ever to score a competitive goal in Liverpool’s entire club history since they were founded in 1892.

West Brom had taken the lead on 15 minutes after Hal Robson-Kanu broke the defensive line and tucked the ball into the far corner, before Mo’ Salah equalised for Liverpool 18 minutes later.

The win will serve as a huge boost to Liverpool’s top-four ambition this season, as they place fifth on 63 points, one adrift Chelsea with two games left to play.
